No need to crawl when I can drive.

Why aren’t you using a car to commute, like an adult? Why are you playing with a children’s toy? Have you tried commuting via unicycle or pogo stick? Grow up, get a car, and stop putting drivers and pedestrians in danger with your infantile hobby.

Should be illegal to ride bicycles on streets. If you feel the need to ride a bicycle, stick to bicycle paths in designated parks, or oval tracks.

Ugh, who among us hasn’t had a day like that, right?

Front bench seats. I had a 1994 Taurus wagon with cushy velour bench seats front and rear (the front bench was a 60/40 bench so you could move closer or further away from the controls), and rear-facing seats in the trunk, so you could fit 8 people. Glorious. It’s almost impossible to find front bench seats on anything…

If it was an automatic, definitely, but nobody wants to be driving around with a manual transmission in 2023. Century-old transmission tech = ND.

In 2008, I bought a 1991 Mercedes 560SEL for $4,500. It was 100% clean inside and out, a beautiful and comfortable car with astonishingly advanced features for a car from 1991, although perhaps not so astonishing given that it was Mercedes’ top-of-the-line model that year.

Thereare ways of buying cars (used, cheap) that don't incur $800/ month payments. 

I have 92k miles on my 2015 Mustang GT that I special-ordered in June 2014. It runs great and I have no urgent need to replace it. I’ll be fine.

This really is nuts to me. I make multiple times this and the idea of spending $800 or $900 / month on a car loan is insane to me. I’m just not sure who these people buying all these cars are.

I’m 42; if the Crown came in PHEV form I’d definitely consider it. I want my next vehicle to be a PHEV, but the Crown ticks most of the boxes of what I’m looking for - comfortable, spacious, good gas mileage, reliability, luxurious interior without a Mercedes price tag. Seems to me like the average person buying an X3…

Can it have a third person mode, so I can play it? First-person video games give me nausea and I cannot play them.

The very best power slide I ever did - seriously, it was magical, about 270 degrees through a circle with a radius of 200 feet or so - was in a giant empty church parking lot with about 3 inches of fresh powdered snow at 1:00 a.m. in a 1987 Toyota Corolla. With a 3 speed automatic. Got up to about 30 mph, spun the…

When it’s cold, you can always put on a warmer jacket. When it’s 100 degrees out with 90 percent humidity, you can’t take off your skin. You just have to suffer. I’ll take the cold any day.

The lede image says “best 11 winter tires.” The article mentions Leao,  Michelin, Bridgestone, and two different Hankook tires by name, and mentions Pirelli and Goodyear without specifying which tire they’re talking about. That’s seven tires; the other four don’t even get name checked in the article. And there’s no…

Here’s a 450 page manual from Toyota explaining everything you could possibly need to know about replacing Toyota wiring harnesses.

Honestly this is blowing my mind that people are disagreeing with me on this take. I had no idea that people actually liked the prevalence of videos on the internet. The whole “pivot to video” thing that destroyed so many news outlets less than ten years ago happened because Facebook faked data showing that people…

I thought it was generally agreed that two universal truths about Kinja were a) nobody likes sideshows; and b) videos should be text. Legitimately did not realize this should be a controversial thing to say.

You don’t believe that I would rather spend 2 minutes reading an article comparing tires than spend 10 minutes watching some pointless YouTube video that could have been a text you could read in 2 minutes? You really don’t believe that? Are you too young to remember reading print newspapers and magazines, that got…
